Vintage Inspired Hair Do – How To: Using Rod / Bendy Curlers for a Wet / Damp Set ~ And a brief look at Vintage Perms

I am showing a simple and quick Hair do – How To basic, the Wet Set. Actually, as you will see in the video, mine is more of a damp set. I am using a set of rod curlers / bendy curlers (I have seen them called both) that I purchased at Dollar Tree. I found that these curlers are the perfect size to create the styles I like and want to share my quick tutorial (and how I fumble thru some of this) with you.

For this post I am showing a simple and quick Hair do – How To basic, the Wet Set. Actually, as you will see in the video, mine is more of a damp set. I am using a set of rod curlers / bendy curlers (I have seen them called both) that I purchased at Dollar Tree. You can find them on Amazon, at the beauty supply stores, and even TJ Maxx/Marshalls (I got my daughter a set rom there). I found that these curlers are the perfect size to create the styles I like and want to share my quick tutorial (and how I fumble thru some of this) with you.

Here is a list of products I used:

Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Lotion

HnH Placenta Hair Treatment

Bedhead Super Star Thickening Spray (Although, in this video I use the lotion …same stuff different delivery)

Lotta Body Setting Lotion

Curling Rods Bendy Rollers (this is a link to some on Amazon. These are not the same as the ones I use in this video, however this product should give the same result, I have used simular to these and have had no issues. The ones I use are from Dollar Tree. We all know not all Dollar Trees have the same stock. I wanted to give options. You can also find curling rods are your local beauty supply, like Sallys or Ulta. I have even found a set, for my daughter, at TJ Maxx and Marshalls).

Large Pink Duck Bill Clips (these are a similar set. I got mine at TJ Maxx)

I hope this post has helped you realize your Vintage Hair Do ambitions. Take your time and practice practice practice. Remember, women of the past may have had a weekly appointment at the beauty salon, so their hair do did not just miraculously happen….they had help! And not everyone looked picture perfect like a sit com housewife all the time. We are all human…even out vintage sisters from years gone by!!!

Vintage Inspired Hair Do – How To: Spoolies Review and First Impression

On a sunny fall afternoon, my darling hubbie needed something off of Amazon. In the sweet way he works, he just added his item to the communal Amazon cart and hit “check out”…and was generous enough to purchase all the random items I had added over the week. I always have random things in my Amazon cart, things I will probably never actually buy, unless my husband gets there before I delete everything. Anyway…this is how I became the proud owner of these weird little silicon curlers….that I did not even know were called “Spoolies.”

The above photo is not an actual photo of what I have. I got the more modern knock offs. I did not know they even were a “thing” back in the “olden days.” Mine are bright pink. I had seen them advertised over the years, as one of those pesky Facebook ads. As a “girl mom” I had them in my cart many times and never bit the bullet. I mean, how many different types of rollers does a gal need? (14…a gal NEEDS 14 different types of rollers, apparently.)

They are advertised, now as in days gone by, as a comfortable alternative to the more hard curlers.

As you can see, the mom and little darling are snoozing away, comfy as can be. My experience was not the same. I found these hard and quiet disturbing to get a good comfortable position. But I feel that way with simple pin curls, as well.

Photo found on Pinterest. The link said it was available on the Spoolies website, however I did not find it there so I am sticking with just giving Pinterest the credit.

Here is a YouTube video I made to review these cute, yet uncomfortable, rollers.

I hope that this informal review of these cute curlers and the longivety of the curls has helped you make a decision on whether or not you need them.
